        how'dya' speed it up?

        Smaller chunks.

        • 2005-01-27 02701, 2005

      • djce
        lock the tables explicitly.

        • 2005-01-27 02728, 2005

      • djce
        The next step is to log the "id" of the row to update, not some other key.

        • 2005-01-27 02736, 2005

      • djce
        Less accurate, but a lot faster.

        anyone mind if i ask a question _completly_ unrelated to mb? :)

        • 2005-01-27 02753, 2005

      • djce
        I won't mind

        heh... well, it's just something that generally annoys me: lately i've started using debian precompiled kernels since it's "easy". however, i need 2.6.11-rc2 due to a bug in my NIC. i used to compile kernels myself earlier, but i don't seem to manage to get the system to mount up my software raid (where both / & /boot is located)

        • 2005-01-27 02721, 2005

      • canidae
        so i simply wonder: what must i make sure is in the kernel to make it mount up a software raid? :)

        • 2005-01-27 02752, 2005

      • canidae
        tried compiling in raid1 support, but i see in the config of the debian kernel that this isn't necessary (there it's a module)

        • 2005-01-27 02732, 2005

      • real
        dont forget debian kernel makes the initd stuff!!!

        • 2005-01-27 02710, 2005

      • real
        thats probably where it gets its raid module from to work, from the initrd but if you compile your own you have to compile it in

        • 2005-01-27 02700, 2005

      • canidae
        well yeah... but it should make that initrd stuff when i compile it myself (using make-kpkg so i'll have a package of it aswell)... but i never really thought of that. let me check

        • 2005-01-27 02701, 2005

      • djce
        I might be pointing out the obvious... but did you try /etc/mkinitrd/modules ?

        • 2005-01-27 02719, 2005

      • canidae
        djce: hmm, maybe not... i'm not familiar with that file (or directory)

        • 2005-01-27 02734, 2005

      • djce
        nor me.... but I had to do something similar a few months back

        • 2005-01-27 02743, 2005

      • djce
        when I switched from booting from on-board IDE

        • 2005-01-27 02749, 2005

      • djce
        to a PCI RAID card

        right then... yet another kernel in the print :)

        So.... moveable type makes this file available for us to use as we see fit: http://blog.musicbrainz.org/index.rdf My question is, is there an equivalent file specific to each category, e.g. http://blog.musicbrainz.org/archives/server/index… ?

        • 2005-01-27 02739, 2005

      • djce
        kick ass. It worked. Copy+paste instructions rule!

        • 2005-01-27 02705, 2005

        ruaok: so.... about including the blog on the main site....

        • 2005-01-27 02729, 2005

      • djce
        we've now got RSS indexes for the whole blog, and per-category too.

        • 2005-01-27 02756, 2005

      • djce
        So that would make it quite easy to create separate news feeds for different parts of the site.

        • 2005-01-27 02730, 2005

      • djce
        Maybe also you could have a category meaning "is on the MB.org front page", that kind of thing.

        • 2005-01-27 02741, 2005

      • djce
        All that's needed really is a Mason component to mirror some RSS XML file and render it into a list of links to the blog pages.

      • ruaok
        djce: sounds great!

        • 2005-01-27 02725, 2005

      • ruaok
        there are a number of RSS perl modules, so this should be short and sweet.

        real: i'd be damned! you seem to be right! grub doesn't add the ramdisk. thank you! thank you all, in fact :)

        • 2005-01-27 02740, 2005

      • DJKC
        ramdisk?

        • 2005-01-27 02745, 2005

      • canidae
        initrd

        • 2005-01-27 02747, 2005

      • DJKC
        you're booting off a ramdisk?

        • 2005-01-27 02704, 2005

      • canidae
        and i think i just found out why... make-kpkg doesn't make one... odd

        • 2005-01-27 02757, 2005

      • canidae
        arr, pebkac :\

        • 2005-01-27 02745, 2005

      • Knio
        ah... that would be because i'm out of memory

        DJKC: what's wrong with booting off a ramdisk?
